    Download & install WindowsBlinds, then just download the skin/theme and sorted.

    lol was on it all fookin night m8 , brand new 300g sata , unpartitioned , unformated etc , vista wouldnt partition or format it , so had to do it with my xp 64 dvd then swap back over and format again, then during the installation it kept freezing on reboots and the only way i could get it to continue installing was in safe mode !!! But now it will only actually boot in safe mode !!

    still looks nice tho :lol: , lets me access the net etc without installing any extra drivers !!

    UPDATE

    Mac OS X - working. baffling. but pretty.

    Vista - just partitioned and formatted no bother, copying files... oooo it's exciting.

    It looks like the full gui isn't running. What graphics card is that on?

    Just onboard that comes with my Intel915G motherboard... i've got a 128mb card but the fan makes a right noise... i can live without it... plus its my work machine - currently boots to either XP, Mac OS x and now Vista :lol:

    i've spent 2 days on forums trying to sort flaming hardware issues out!

    my mobo is supported, but the onboard sound and ethernet doesn't work according to the wiki page. boots ok and looks nice... ahh well.. i'm like a kid with a new toy... played with it for 5 mins, the waiting was more exciting - and now i'm bored of it :lol:

    However Vista is sweet... hangs when i've got my 5.1 audio card it - but other than that it's pretty good :up:
